"The Wu Kingdom has fallen??"
Hu Zun stared at the envoy before him, his eyes wide.
How could that be?
So quickly??
Hadn't they agreed to make their preparations before acting?
Hu Zun drew a deep breath, a trace of bewilderment flashing through his eyes. He asked in confusion, "How did the Wu Kingdom fall?"
"General, the General of Chariots and Cavalry drove straight in, captured Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, and ordered him to surrender. And so the Wu Kingdom fell."
Hu Zun's mouth fell open. He wanted to say something very foul, but seeing the deputy generals around him staring at him, he closed his mouth.
The Wu Kingdom had fallen just like that??
For a moment, he could scarcely believe it either.
Their original strategy had been nothing like this.
Back then, Hu Zun had gathered the other two and secretly explained his strategy: he would hold Ding Feng in place, Wen Qin would hold Hu Zun in place, and Guanqiu Jian would break through at Wuchang. Capturing the emperor at Wuchang would of course be best, but if he could not, he would pursue him.
The defenders throughout Wu would then rush to protect their sovereign. Guanqiu Jian would make a show of pursuing Sun Hao, and once he approached Danyang Commandery, he could change course.
He would attack Songzi from behind Shi Ji, destroy Shi Ji first, then join forces to crush Ding Feng before advancing on Jianye from three directions.
Hu Zun had considered this strategy fairly flawless, with every aspect accounted for.
But he had never expected Guanqiu Jian to get so carried away.
He had chased and chased, all the way to Jianye!
This was the last chance to earn the merit of destroying a kingdom!!
